This woman most likely would've been assumed to be a terrorist if she lawfully carried in public, sadly.

She had a "witness." Her passenger.

Follow the story. The one who talked the crazy racist white knife wielding guy who almost hit her car but didn't back into his SUV after she got out to check on the damage from the near accident that didn't happen.

As for this story, lets wait for more evidence before jumping to conclusions. In the video the reporter says the woman was 'targeted', but after reading the article it seems like there was a near accident, man came back to confront her, supposedly said some derogatory things to her and then took out a knife and then who knows what else happened and what else was said. And who knows maybe the man was angry and perceived that she almost hit him and he came back to confront her and said some derogatory things in the heat of the moment. Guess we'll have to see if there's more info later on.



Maybe wait for more details to come out, but it could've been an accidental cut. IE the story said the man was hitting her with the knife handle on the shoulder and arms and perhaps she tried to defend herself and got cut in the process.
It still would have been an attack though.

Also, it's quite possible it was road rage and when the man identified the characteristics of the woman he simply went on a slur-spree in his personal quest for revenge. I'm not defending him by any means but if it was truly road rage when he exited his vehicle he would have thrown the slur book at whatever stood in front of him (black, Hispanic, overweight, elderly, etc). Then he decided to attack.

Either way, if the story holds, he's a lowlife.

We'll see. Right now we only have the alleged victim and her passenger to hear the details from.

I don't like CAIR being involved and even offering a reward. It raises my suspicions. Again, I'd distance myself from them if I was the victim. They're a terrorist group.

This is road rage in Houston, not London. What the heck was wrong with him, where was his gun.

OK, so let's see where we are on this one.

Early morning...apparently no eye-witnesses to verify the story.

Almost sideswiped her vehicle...no physical evidence to pursue.

A single non-life threatening injury made by a knife that seems to have disappeared with the attacker that no one saw.

MUTGR , Suburban_Guy and momonkey:

Please contact Houston police department, seems like you guys have some more information on the lack of authenticity of this woman's story.

For those who would like to "wait for more evidence", would you say the same thing if the attacker was Muslim and the victim a white woman?

Yes, as of now, we only have her words and nothing else so we should wait for more evidence but that should always be the case, not just when the attacker is white male.

Thanks,

It wouldn't be the first time, would it. Or second, or third...Aesop had a story about that a couple thousand years ago.

Yes, many would say that no matter the victim. You are the one who seems to have an agenda.

I’ll wait for more evidence though, as the only thing I find it hard to believe is it happened in Houston. Don’t know the exact area but if it happened here the chances that this guy doesn’t encounter Muslims on at least a monthly basis is pretty low.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hist...ans_in_Houston Their is over 100,000 Pakistani Muslims in Houston and when you throw in Indian Muslims which with Pakistani make up 70% of Muslims in the Houston area. In my county we are talking 3-4% Muslim at least, and Harris we are talking at least 1% Muslim, meaning if your a virulent racists and you see 100 people or more everyday you will be seeing Muslims especially anywhere in SW Houston or Fort Bend County on almost a daily basis that seeing a Muslim shouldn’t trigger you. Unless of course the person was taken. By anger and attacked anyway.

Although I’m not really representative as my best bud for he last 7-8+ years is a Pakistani dude.
